And you were just asking if that trailer would carry much. HA!

Steve


That trailer did not even squeak when we took my Bridgeport mill off of
it
with a Bobcat. That is good military hardware there... Then it did not
complain a bit when we dropped a Miller Big Blue on it.... Now I gotta
beg
and barter him to move it again soon!

Twice, I moved something that was 2 times as heavy as that Bridgeport.
In addition, one of those times me and the scrap man went on a wild
goose chase to find someone with a forklift, at which point I
discovered that there are too many potholes in Addison that were too
deep, and that some are sometimes covered with snow. But the trailer
seems to have held up.


That's how you learn stuff, Ig. You try to think it through ......... weld
it as good as you can ..... ask others.

Then overload it.

Steve ;-)

Yep. When building this trailer, I asked a lot of what some sneering
people may call dumb questions. If I ask myself now, would the trailer
be better built if I did not ask those questions, the answer is
obviously no. Your own advice to use 7018, for example was
particularly good, as I would otherwise stick to something that was
not as good.
